While I've always been into fashion, make-up is the one side of style I just don't seem to understand. I may only be in my early twenties, but I've already tried so many lip glosses and none of them have been good enough to call my purse its home... until yesterday.

A few weeks ago, I was knee deep in a magazine snip-it about Clinique's "Black Honey" lip gloss and the newest shades the make-up brand just introduced to the "Honey" family. If you aren't familiar with the brands legendary color, "Black Honey," its almost a deep purple-black at first sight. But once you apply the gloss, it's quite the opposite and a very surprising light berry color appears on your lips. Being rather new to make-up and sick of spending a fortune on lipsticks, lip glosses, and balms that never work, I decided to head straight to the Clinique counter myself and test out the new shades.

After taking my time, applying each and every gloss, and pouting my lips like supermodel in the mirror at the make-up counter, I eventually came to the conclusion that "Lovely Honey" is the shade for me. It's easy to apply, not sticky, and has a subtle glossy pink hue that plays up my natural lip color so I still feel like me!

Not to mention the light weight silver packaging the gloss comes in is super chic. I feel like a million bucks when I pull it out of my bag. The above pic is of "Black Honey"and is from Sephora.com where you can find the rest of the shades including "Luscious Honey," "Flirty Honey," "Shy Honey," and "Tender Honey" for $15. Clinique's newest shades are just as iconic as the original. What shade was made for you?
